Good point, but let’s say a character gave another character a dry look, how would you word that?
… hmm.
You have a point.
Maybe something like this? “The stare she gave him was as dry as a desert.”
I’m not sure I can be too helpful in this area, I apologize. 😅
I agree. I suppose it’s just I have a hard time describing people’s faces in wo…

Thanks for tagging me, Noah!
Replacements for look
I usually use “Fernya shot her son a quick glare,” instead of something like “Fernya gave her son an icy look.” Maybe if you rearrange the wording a little bit, you won’t have to keep using “look” in that context?
Thoughts on ‘said’ replacements:
Ahh, my favourite thing to discuss. 😁 I have…[Read more]

Whoaaa … I’m sorry I ditched you all! 😨 Life and studies got in the way.

Maybe what? That I won’t sink as low?

Hrm … looks like I randomly changed from 3rd to 1st person.
Pardon me. 😅
Rúan is just easier to write in 1st, since I like to get into his head.

@Calidris I love Basil so much — he and Rúan could claim to be brothers and no one would argue. 😆
this interaction is going to be a complete disaster and I’m sooo looking forward to it!
Well, we’re authors — we dabble in disaster, don’t we? *tries hard not to glance at the mess that is Rúan Fernyasson Pyrestone*
Hopefully both Basil and Ruan wil…

Absolutely. 😂 👌
Also, @rose-colored-fancy WOW that is an amazing drawing … *applauds* I love the facial expression.

Good to know. (:
